A 4-year-old girl in Philadelphia has grabbed her purple raincoat, slipped out of her house at 3 a.m. and hopped a Philadelphia bus in search of a snack.
Bus driver Harlan Jenifer says the girl swung her legs in a seat as she chanted, "All I want is a slushie."
Authorities say the girl's family didn't know she had awoken and unlocked the backdoor to start her trek during a downpour early Friday. They found nothing amiss at the house and have no plans to file charges.
The bus driver is a father of three. He says he was scared for the girl but found her adventure funny. He says he knew she was in good hands.
He stopped the bus and called police. They took the girl to a hospital, where she was reunited with her mother.
An electrician was examining the home at around 3:45 p.m. when he discoveredanimprovised explosive device crafted from a plastic jug filled with accelerant and wired to the lighting system, the Boston Globe reports.
“It was in the closet of a bedroom upstairs,” Lindell Williams who owns the property told CBS Boston.
The electrician was looking at the home on Tuesday in part because Williams who normally rents the house out, is planning to sell the property, according to WCVB.
The most recent occupants — a family who had lived there since June — moved out just days before the inspection. One day before they moved out, they filed a complaint that someone had filled the house’s drains with concrete.
Williams told The Boston Globe that in the past, the home has been a “target house” for vandalization.
Police are considering anyone who has access to the house as a suspect.
The important clue helped police arrest 41-year-old Brent Henry, of East Butler, in Clay Township.
Police say the homeowner heard a noise and caught Henry, who ran away but left the credit card, and his birth certificate behind.
NO! I added in that last part about the birth certificate!
Police say Henry told them he planned to take some gasoline for another friend's car.
Online court records don't list a defense attorney to comment on the charges.
Henry faces a preliminary hearing on criminal trespass and other charges April 7.
